“A lot of the rainfall turning showery as it goes through eastern and central Scotland and then northern England. But some, perhaps, more prolonged weather for Northern Ireland through the hours of darkness.”

The forecaster said there will be an obvious north and south divide in the weather into Thursday.

He said: “This arc of cloud associated with it really separates, particularly unsettled weather to the north with much less unsettled weather to the south. Clear spells either side of the weather front and a chilly start again on Thursday in Scotland.

“But showers quite quickly moving into northern and western Scotland and those showers spread quite fast across eastern and southern Scotland – Northern Ireland as well through Thursday.

“A wet start to the day on Thursday for Wales and the north west of England – the wet weather then transferring to Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and some bits and pieces of rainfall across the Midlands, central and southern England and the south west.

“Just ahead of that, we will keep largely fine weather through the bulk of the day on Thursday across East Anglia and the south east with sunny spells – temperatures 20 to 21 degrees.

“But much fresher and much cooler for Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England with this shower air flow. Some potent downpours, hail and thunder. But also some sunny spells in between.

“It turns more unsettled across all areas over the next few days. And if you do have any outdoor plans then it will be worth keeping up to date with the forecast.”

BBC Weather also said there will be a shake up in the weather when an area of low pressure hits the country towards the end of the week.

BBC forecaster Matt Taylor said: “The shake up of the weather patterns, it’s all evident there in the jet stream which starts to show this more angulating pattern in the north Atlantic – dipping down to the south of the UK too.

“In that dip down we start to develop a big area of low pressure. That will dominate the weather charts for the end of this week.

“Low pressure basically means rain clouds will be here and there and eventually something cooler and also windier too.”

With a lot of wet weather in the forecast this week bookmaker Coral has been forced to cut odds on this month ending as the wettest September on record.

The firm now make it 2-1 from 4-1 this month goes down at the wettest in UK history as parts of the country continue to be hit with rain later this week.

Coral spokesman John Hill said: “The weather is set to take a turn for the worse this week and that has prompted a flurry of bets on this month ending as the wettest September on record.”
